 Also someone mentioned taking the fresh sage leaf with a portion of stem
 attached, ddipping it in batter and deep frying it. Apparently the batter
 puffs up and the resulting product becomes an illusion food that looks like
a
 little mouse. :-)

      These sound too cute for words, not to mention tastey, but does anyone
know how well they hold up over the amount of time it would take to fry up
enough for a feast and get them to the table? Most things that puff up when
fried deflate fairly soon after they emerge from the oil.......... Seems like
the illusion would be lost with the inflation.
